Princesses and Pirates


Tonight I took the princess to an amazing show at the Knoxville Collusium. We watched Disney's Princess and Pirate Adventure.  It was the girls' turn at a night out and we had so fun! I kept this a secret from her for a long time.  I told her an hour before we needed to leave that I needed to get her dressed up in her princess dress and do her hair all pretty.  She kept asking, "Why mom?"  I wouldn't tell her until we were ready to leave.  Once I told her where we were going, she screamed and couldn't wait to get in the car.
Here we are ready to go to the show.
I got us amazing seats.  We were on the floor, seventh row. We could see it all.  As a preshow, Doc McStuffins came out and wowed the kids.  Taryn was all smiles.
This was taken right after Doc had finished her performance.  Taryn was so excited to see the princesses.
The princess show starred Sophia the First, whom Taryn loves.  It was like watching a cartoon episode but in real life.  Their costumes were amazing and great acting too.  Taryn sang all the songs and even jumped up and danced.
They had a 20 minute intermission, which was a needed bathroom break and then it was off to the novelty stands to find a trinket.  Funny thing was, most of the items they were selling we already had at home.  Taryn spotted the Sophia cup with a snow cone inside it and decided that was what she wanted.  I was okay with the price and the trinket. It would be used a lot at home for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Soon after making our purchase, Jake and the Neverland Pirates put on their show.  It was just as entertaining as the princess one, but in this show the characters flew across the stage using wires.  Taryn picked up on the wires pretty quickly, but she still thought it was neat.  
The show was amazing and Taryn was happy.  It was a great night for the two of us.  Now it is home, bed and off to Nashville tomorrow for some more fun!
